Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Set in the suburban area on the east side of Green Bay, Willow Creek Behavioral Health treats a wide range of mental health conditions or alcohol or drug addiction treatment, as well as dual-diagnosis treatment. Willow Creek's levels of care are inpatient care, day (PHP) treatment, and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment. (Willow Creek also refers to their IOP as "part-time outpatient care".) For co-occurring drug addiction, they do on-site detox with 24/7 monitoring and medication-assisted treatment. Their treatment team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, medical doctors, nursing staff, therapists, and behavioral health associates. They take and evidence-based and trauma-informed approach that includes talking to a counselor, occupational therapy, recreational therapy, and mindfulness. Their staff is able to prescribe medicines for mental health or addiction and help clients manage their med lists. They don't prescribe buprenorphine-based medications, but if a client already has a prescription for those, they can administer the medication on-site to ensure a safe, coordinated detox. Clients can come to Willow Creek for prompt service, including walk-ins for crisis care. Willow Creek's inpatient program serves clients 5+ with age-appropriate therapies for children, teens, adults, and older adults. Their older adult program includes extra caregiver education to strengthen family bonds and ensure long-term success after clients leave. Their outpatient programs serve adults. The adult day program meets weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. for about 3 weeks. Their adult IOP meets weekdays from either 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. or 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., giving clients options to work IOP into their normal routine and continue as long as needed. Clients can come in-person or virtually. Some optional whole-person therapies at Willow Creek are their art, gardening, and yoga. Willow Creek runs their gardening course until late fall with the goal of helping clients connect with nature and "get back to their roots." Their yoga program complements other meditative and mindfulness therapies. The staff can adjust their approach to yoga based on clients' comfort level. The goal of the holistic therapies is to create a balanced environment to nurture the mind and body. Willow Creek laid out their campus to aid in this, with semi-private rooms to promote connections, 3 open air courtyards, a gym, and a dedicated classroom space. Willow Creek provides many types of food to cater to clientele, including tacos, hamburgers, fish, brats, salad bars, eggs, bacon, toast, French toast, biscuits & gravy, juice, milk, and sweet desserts. There are also soda and coffee machines. Clients enjoy the same meals that the staff do.
